"A block of pure white marble, weighing
eighteen tons, and the largest single stone ever
taken from the quarry, was raised last week from

Mount Vernon Place, Baltimore.
There is alleged to be some trouble about
the race in the 2:37 class at the Timonium fair,
growing out of the fact that the was declared
.'off" and @ Especial substituted for it, in which
two horses from the same stable were allowed to
start. 1t is said that this is violation of the
national rules, punishable by ine &c.
The race meeting at Pimlico last week was
very successful, although the attendance was not
so large as it should have been. Some of the best
trotting seen in the State were witnessed.
Mr.. Frank Brown, the intelligent and energetic
president of the State Agricultural Society, de-
serves great praise for his successful management
of the meeting.
a train without fireman or engineer ran out
of Camden Station, Baltimore, few days ago and
never stopped until it reached Annapolis Junction,
where it jumped the track. Fortunately no other
train came in collision with the runaway. 1t is
thought that some one, out of pure devilment,
jumped on the engine at Camden Station, threw
open the throttle and then jumped off.

"A pepper-corn is very small, but seasons
every dinner
More than all the condiments, although tits
sprinked thinner:
Just so little woman is, if Love will let
you win her;
There's not joy in all the world you will
not find within her."
At this time last year the leaves of the trees
had turned yellow and brown and the fields pre-
sented scared and dead appearance, owing to the
long-continued drought. Now the trees are fresh
and green looking and the fields present an ap-
pearance more like spring than fall. The pastures
are still good, and this is great help to farmers,
who would otherwise be obliged to feed their stock.
Application was made to the County Com
missioners on Tuesday to have the voting place

asking the change, and Mr.. John NJ. Gallagher
opposed the removal. The Board reserved its de-
cision.

The starting up of the large mill at Phoenix
will be great help to that place, which has been
practically dead since the factory ceased operations
several years ago. Very soon the town, which has
been as quiet graveyard, will be made lively
by the hum of 5000 spindles and the clank and
rumble of heavier machinery, and there will be
scenes of life and activity on every hand. Mr..
Richard Cromwell, the new owner of the property,
is thorough and enterprising business man,
backed by large capital, which will be literally
spent to put everything in frst-class shape.
